Whether it is because you want to make sure that your children stay safe online or you do not want to be a victim of cybercrime, there are numerous reasons why you should have an antivirus installed on your computer.

VIPRE Advanced Security is a lightweight, yet efficient tool that can provide you with protection against a plethora of online threats, including phishing attacks and certain ransomware families.

The application comes with a sleek and stylish GUI that packs more than meets the eye. While initially you may think that the app comes with just a couple of functions, once you start exploring the Manage tab you can view the advanced settings and customization options available.

The tool enables you to schedule scans to be performed at regular intervals, a function that is more than welcomed considering that most of us do not genuinely enjoy idling in front of the PC while the antivirus does its job. Moreover, you will be happy to learn that the utility does not hog your resources while performing the scans.

In case you want to check the actions or history carried out by the antivirus or perhaps you want to look closer for various events, then you can do so from the extensive and detailed logs it keeps.

In addition to the real-time protection features, the application also packs a firewall that adds to the layers of security for your computer. In case you use another firewall, then rest assured that you can disable the one that comes with the app.

It is worth mentioning that you can customize the filters for the firewall and even block all access to the Internet if the situation calls for it. In addition, you can run it in stealth mode and prevent your PC from responding to certain types of malicious port scans automatically, an option that can help reduce the chances of a ransomware infection.

The program allows you to take things one step further by configuring the firewall to block attacks from the same network and watch out for suspicious processes running in the background.

VIPRE Advanced Security is a comprehensive protection solution that ensures you can navigate securely over the world wide web and that can keep your computer free of Trojans, malicious files and other similar malware
